Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed October 4, 1905.erial Ito. 281.368.

Patented Sept. 25, 1966.

1'0 a, whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHAN HJALMAR LID- I HoL'M, a sub'ect of the King ofSweden. and

Norway, an a resident of Alby, in the King- Y 5- dom of Sweden, haveinvented certaln new 15 solid form is separated If the light is shutout, no reaction will take place.

The present invention has for its object. a process for combining theabove-mentioned cases so that chlorin compounds of hydrozo carbons areformed. This is obtained by dilutingamixture of the gases'with a gasin-- difierent. to acetylene and chlorin, such as carbon dioxid, andafterward exposing the gas mixture to the actionof chemically ac- 2 5tive or actinicrays, whereby the reaction takes place very calmly.According to the proportions in'which the acetylene and the chlorin arepresent in the gas mixture'the products will be s-tetrachlorid of ethyl3o (C H Cl or s-dichlorid of ethylene (C H Cl either pure or in mixturewith another and other products of addition and substitution.

Of these roducts the tetrachlorid of ethyl and the 'chlorid of ethyleneare the main,

3 5 and the are to be se arated in the known mannerlly fractionaltillation,

Among chemically active or actinic rays I here cite the rays of radium,Roentgen rays ultraviolet light, and. sunlight. As

the intensityof sunlight 'is very various, I 40 prefer the constant raysources,'such as the other cited ones, and specially the ultravioletrays which are emitte from mercury-lamps of quartz or any othersubstances which are penetrable for ultraviolet rays.

The dilution with carbon dioxid is different according to the intensityof the my sources. B an ultraviolet lamp'for three amperes and fi ty tosixty volts it is preferable to dilute the gases with about ten percent. carbon-dioxid.

Having now described my invention, what I claiin as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The herein-described -method of pro 55 ducing compounds of chlorinand h drocarbons, which consists in diluting a mixture of acetylene andchlorin gases with a gas, indifferent to chlorin and acetylene, and thensubmitting the mixture to chemically activeor actinic rays to producereaction, substantially as described.

2. The herein-described method of producing compounds of chlorid andhydrocarbons, which consists in diluting a mixture of acetylene andchlorin gases wlth carbon dioxid, and then submitt the mixture to 111-traviolet rays, substantia y as described.

I In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 21st day ofSeptember, 1905, 7c in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
